Founded 1889 Fifa 1904
Denmark were the dark horses 12 years ago, however this football squad do not look like the up-and-coming, fearless team that we saw in 1992. Perhaps if Denmark will reach the last eight then we will know more about their potential. Italy are not playing particularly well, so look out for close games in Group C.
Previous qualification: 1960, 1964, 1984, 1988, 1992 (Won), 1996, 2000.
